Exciting action, delicious meals, great crowds, that’s what best describes the
Independence Rugby 7s tournament which is held annually to commemorate
Nigeria’s Independence anniversary.
The tournament will be staged this
year at the Onikan stadium on the 10th and 11th of
October 2014. The two day tournament which
started in the year 2009 has since grown to be the biggest Rugby 7s
party in West Africa.
Its 2013 edition had a wider International
participation with clubs from the UK, Egypt and Ghana adding the much
needed International flavour.
However, clubs from every
zones in Nigeria competed extremely well and we witnessed two local
teams in last year’s final (Cowrie RFC Lagos vs Nigeria Police RFC). The
Police team beat Cowrie RFC 12-7 to emerge 2013 champions.
The
2014 edition promises to be bigger and better, eleven local team and
five international teams will battle for this year’s trophy,
